8 We, the conference committee appointed to consider the
9 differences between the houses in relation to Senate
10 Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 108, recommend the following:
11 1. that the Senate recede from Senate Amendment No. 1;
12 2. that House Bill 108 be amended by replacing the title
13 with the following:
14 "AN ACT in relation to bonds."; and
15 that House Bill 108 be amended by replacing everything
16 after the enacting clause with the following:
17 "Section 5. Public Act 90-8 (House Bill 1171 of the 90th
18 General Assembly) is amended by adding Section 99 as follows:
